It is a simple device that can be used for measuring the force acting on body. We can measure the weight of a body. as it is the force with which the object is being pulled by the Earth towards its centre. Spring balance is based on the principle of spring force.
Spring balance was invented by British physicist Robert Hooke in 1660. It is used to measure the weight of the object. Spring balance consists of a spring with a hook attached at one end. It has a pointer which can move on a graduated scale indicating the weight. The load is hung in the hook provided on the spring, it expands and this expansion is proportional to the weight of the object. The object to be weighed is attached to the hook of spring balance which is held vertically either from a hook or with a hand. The spring gets stretched due to gravitational pull and hence, the pointer slides downward on the engraved scale. The working principle of the spring balance is Hooke's law. It can be defined as F=−kx. Where F is the force and x is the displacement of the pointer. A spring balance measures the weight of an object by opposing the force of gravity with the force of an extended spring. |

My experience with Abhyas academy is very good. I did not think that my every subject coming here will be so strong. The main thing is that the online tests had made me learn here more things.
One of the best institutes to develope a child interest in studies.Provides SST and English knowledge also unlike other institutes. Teachers are co operative and friendly online tests andPPT develope practical knowledge also.
It was good as the experience because as we had come here we had been improved in a such envirnment created here.Extra is taught which is beneficial for future.
It has a great methodology. Students here can get analysis to their test quickly.We can learn easily through PPTs and the testing methods are good. We know that where we have to practice
I have spent a wonderful time in Abhyas academy. It has made my reasoning more apt, English more stronger and Maths an interesting subject for me. It has given me a habbit of self studying
Being a parent, I saw my daughter improvement in her studies by seeing a good result in all day to day compititive exam TMO, NSO, IEO etc and as well as studies. I have got a fruitful result from my daughter.
My experience was very good with Abhyas academy. I am studying here from 6th class and I am satisfied by its results in my life. I improved a lot here ahead of school syllabus.
My experience with Abhyas is very good. I have learnt many things here like vedic maths and reasoning also. Teachers here first take our doubts and then there are assignments to verify our weak points.
Abhyas is a complete education Institute. Here extreme care is taken by teacher with the help of regular exam. Extra classes also conducted by the institute, if the student is weak.
Abhyas Methodology is very good. It is based on according to student and each child manages accordingly to its properly. Methodology has improved the abilities of students to shine them in future.
